NHS Dentistry
We provide comprehensive NHS dental treatments for registered patients. Our services include routine check-ups, emergency care, and essential dental procedures following NHS guidelines. Patients receive clinically necessary treatments at subsidised costs through government funding.
Private Treatments
Our private dental services offer enhanced options beyond NHS provision. Patients benefit from extended appointment times, premium materials, and cosmetic treatments like veneers and crowns. All private work includes detailed treatment plans and written estimates with full patient consent required before commencement.
Emergency Appointments
Registered patients can access urgent dental care during our operating hours. We prioritise emergency cases to address pain, infections, or dental trauma. Out-of-hours emergencies are directed to NHS 111 service while maintaining continuity of care for our patients.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer various cosmetic dental treatments including veneers, crowns, and teeth whitening. These procedures focus on improving smile aesthetics while maintaining functional integrity. All cosmetic work uses high-quality materials to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results tailored to individual needs.
Children's Dentistry
Our practice provides specialised dental care for children, focusing on prevention and early intervention. We offer regular check-ups, fluoride applications, and dietary advice. For high-risk cases, we recommend more frequent visits to monitor dental development and establish positive dental habits from an early age.

Visited for a hygienist appointment and found the telephone booking and text and email communications really professional and received a warm welcome by all the reception team. The hygienist and assistant did a first class job and really gave my teeth an excellent clean up at a responsible price. Would highly recommend keep up the good work.

Ive always found the reception here very cordial, helpful and friendly. The Dentists are very professional and not averse to a bit of friendly and funny banter. My treatments are handled pretty much free from pain and anxiety. My only comment would be to get the consulting rooms better sound deadened as I have hearing/tinnitus issues that dont cope well with echoey rooms! But thank you for a brilliant service.

Report
I had very good treatment from Sherborne dental centre. I was quickly seen following having a dental emergency on New Years Day where I had a badly broken tooth and having issues with my wisdom teeth. The staff and dentist were lovely I have a dental phobia and I was made to feel very welcome. I was given good honest advice and I was not put through any unnecessary treatment. I was referred to receive further specialist treatment. Thank you for my treatment today.

Report
This was my first appointment since before Covid and, although I had contacted the Centre as soon as it was safe to do so, I was unable to make an appointment as there was a staff shortage. However, because the last appointments had been cancelled by the Centre, I was really pleased to know that I was still registered with them. I went for a check up and found the staff to be as friendly and efficient as before. The Dentist, although new to me, was friendly, took X-rays, checked my teeth and was helpful in suggesting what should happen next. I have my next appointment in 5 weeks time.
